No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

I agree. Working on a new report on this right now. What happened in Atlanta today is significantly worse than it even appears on the surface. I daresay I no longer hold out much hope that this fall will be anything but utter—and scary—chaos.
A free and fair election increasingly feels unthinkable.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.
The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.

The lies are the point. The lack of investigation is the point. Gaslighting us about videos we've all seen is the point. Disobeying courts is the point. Falsely calling protesters domestic terrorists is the point.
You've never wanted anything as much as Donald Trump wants a civil war.

I think we are getting close to the point at which the athletes on Minnesota professional sports teams should start refusing to take the field/court/ice
Something has to be done to underscore the national emergency we are in, because I still do not think corporate media gets it

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.
Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task?
Answer? He wanted a *war*.

Everything Trump is doing now (from from Portland to Minneapolis to Chicago) is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.
I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but I've been warning for months of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible.
It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections.
Wake up: fascism is here.

Trump’s plan has been clear: terrorize Americans, attack them, shoot them in the face, and create as much chaos as possible — whatever it takes. Then use the chaos he manufactured to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
